I'm done putting together the magazine! After all the outputs and color proofs, I saw 'the book' on my desk and am immediately reminded of The Devil Wears Prada and Ugly Betty. First thought that comes to my mind is hey the book exists! i always thought it was color proofs and then to blue paper.. heh.. i'm a dork i know...

it's CNY soon! CNY always makes me so happy. it's the whole feeling of family getting together and all.. i have an invitation to The Police concert on the 7th but unfortunately i can't attend since it's the first day of CNY and that day is always reserved for family but hey there'll be other concerts..

it's been super cold these days and we've been hotpotting like crazy.. one of the best things about hot pot is that you are always so warm and fuzzy afterwards but the con is that i ALWAYS overeat.. i feel like a hamster storing up food but it's all in my tummy instead of storing it in the house...

time flies,
months passes,
life changes
cliches but oh so true...
i haven't updated in a long time but i'm still here!!
so new year, new job. i've been at my new job for three weeks and enjoying it hence far. it helps that a certain someone from high school sits next to me now and we can bitch to each other all we want!
i'm getting used to being a journalist again and while it's been challenging i also find that i enjoy it so here's hoping to me finally settling down and stop changin jobs and careers!

Work work work all I do is work.. colleagues say V you need to go out, have fun, family says why are you spending all your time at work, the company isn’t worth it, friends ask me when I’m going to quit, my boss tells me that life comes first and don’t bother being loyal to the company, yet here I am, at work until at least midnight on a daily basis trying to get things done, the teaser for a major project is going to be launched next week.. will the satisfaction be worth it? Or am I simply a fool with no life?

So it's official. I've become a Facebook Whore. I'm sorry Xanga. We had a beautiful relationship that lasted through my days of LiveJournal and blogspot but now after however many days i've been on Xanga i've abandoned you for Facebook. Facebook has become the mistress and you are now the 'dai por' that begs for my attention yet only get it when I'm done giving most of my time to facebook. I can try telling you that I will spend more time with you and that you and facebook can coexist in harmony but i also know that the majority of my time will be spent on facebook. So the only thing i can do is to point the finger at a certain cKo. it's all her fault!

anyway now that i've gotten that out of the way.. yet another update on my life... been mixing a lot of analogies lately due to my massive bout of flu. let's see how many i remember

Monday- feeling like the seven dwarfs- achy, sickly, grumpy, gloomy, sleepy, floaty, whiny

Tuesday- feels like i'm on a very small boat in the middle of the ocean.. everything is bobbing up and down

Wednesday- the weather has gotten rougher in this small small boat and when i stare at the computer screen, words do a happy dance..

Thursday- the boat has upgrade to a small ship.. still in rough weather but not as bumpy a journey

Friday- i'm on a cruise ship. still waves of dizziness but only the occasional turbulence

My conclusion- after a week of having this flu. i should have been able to travel to the US by boat somehow by now. why am i still stuck at work?

Feeling rather apathetic towards things for some reason. I don't know if it's the gloomy weather or if it's that almost all my colleagues are gone.. but there's just something missing at work and it seems like that perpetual dark cloud hanging over our heads simply won't blow away. I'm not in the mood to do anything. I don't want to interact with people socially or watch tv shows or play video games. It's like I'm at the epitome of blah. What's wrong with me?

woah.. yet another month goes by... work has been in upheaval and a few of my good friends at work is gone.. sigh.. been forewarned of tough times ahead.. hopefully will survive...
after 11 years, my chinchilla has passed away... she's had a long happy life... we've decided to keep hamsters instead.. i wanted to call them minibeck after becky and minidark after darky but my brother decided to call them piece of shit and piece of crap -_-;; fortunately, after a week they've now been renamed fatty and thinny. yes it's the easiest way to identify them =P
